Wednesday afternoon belonged to the seniors on the Fort Morgan girls tennis team, who played their final home match of their high school careers.

All five seniors won in the matches they played in, as did all of their teammates in a 7-0 sweep over the Arvada Bulldogs for their sixth straight win.

“It’s been so much fun,” Breann Parks said. “It’s been a great time for us to end the season. We’re really close and bonded through this. It’s good to come together as a team and get off the court happy with our play.”

Parks got the first win of the day in No. 1 singles for the Mustangs. She opened with a dominant first set, sweeping her opponent 6-0. A close lead early in set two didn’t matter late as Parks rolled late to win 6-2 to take the match.

“I’ve had good positioning with my spots,” Parks said. “I’ve been really good with that and my slices.”

Not long after her win, Riley Bauman and Julie Canales became the next two seniors to win on Wednesday with their victory in No. 2 doubles. The two started off going back and forth in the first set and were tied 3-3. A late run propelled them to a 6-3 win in the set. Momentum carried over into the second set as they got a big lead early and won 6-1 for the sweep.

Bauman and Canales, who have been doubles partners for a few years, say they were looking to get on track after a third-place finish in the Fort Lupton tournament last week.

“We need to take this confidence to league and regionals,” Canales said. “We just need to keep talking with each other and bring our play back up to come out with some wins.”

The communication between each other is the main reason the team has found success this season, according to Bauman.

“We were battling early, but now we’re more confident and communicate well with each other,” Bauman said. “We’re perfect for each other.”

The final two seniors to win on Wednesday were Caity Bain and Ellie Mae Rodriguez in No. 1 doubles. The two opened up with big leads in each set and rolled 6-1, 6-0 to continue their current win streak.

The two are close off the court, Bain said, but it took some time to work out how they would play with each other for the first time this season. After a rough start, the duo feels they are on the right track heading into the final part of the season.

“We learned how to work together and communicate better,” Bain said. “Since we are best friends, we fought a lot early this season. Now we learned how to work through it.”

Outside of the matches played by seniors, Fort Morgan continued its dominant play in the other four matches to get the sweep, their first since April 5 against the Skyview Wolverines.

Maddie Wiedrich battled through some tough serves from her opponent and had the significant advantage in the other areas of the game to win 6-1, 6-2 in No. 2 singles. Kaitlyn Fajardo swept her opponent 6-0 in the first match of No. 3 singles but found herself in a back-and-forth second set. She would prevail late 7-5 to secure the win.

Acacia Doughty and Natalie Flores continued to work well together in No. 3 doubles for the Mustangs and won 6-1, 6-1 in their match. Playing with Grace Breneman in No. 4 doubles was Emma Wolff, who fit right in as they won 6-3, 6-0 in their match.

“They are all being a lot more strategic now,” head coach Jacki Bauman said. “When you know where to place the ball and what hit style to take with it, you know you’re going to have a lot more success.”

The Mustangs remain focused on winning the Colorado 7 League title with one week to go in the regular season. They will travel to face the Fort Lupton Blue Devils on Monday as a final tune-up for the conference tournament on April 27.

“There are a couple of little things to clean up with our hits, but other than that, I think we’re ready,” Rodriguez said.
